How Fees Work

Swap Fee (1%)

Every trade on Uniswap V4 incurs a 1% fee:

User buys 1,000 tokens for 0.1 ETH
Swap fee: 0.001 ETH (1%)
User receives: 1,000 tokens
Pool receives: 0.099 ETH + 0.001 ETH fee

Fee Collection

The platform owns the initial LP position:

  • Fees accumulate in the position
  • Platform can claim fees periodically
  • Fees fund platform operations

Fee Calculation

// Uniswap V4 pool configuration
uint24 fee = 10000; // 1% = 10000 bps

// Fee calculation
uint256 feeAmount = (swapAmount * fee) / 1_000_000;

Gas Costs

Gas costs vary by network conditions:

OperationTypical GasCost (@ 0.01 gwei)
Swap~150,000~$0.01
Add Liquidity~200,000~$0.02

Why 1% Fee?

  • Sustainable revenue for platform
  • Competitive with other DEXs
  • Low enough for active trading
  • High enough to discourage manipulation
